L'education Morale: Reinventer une Transcendance Affective

Abstract

Even in the opinion of Benjamin Bloom and his collaborators, to raise the question of affect in education is to open a Pandora's box. But perhaps in moral education more than in any other domain, we must be prepared to risk opening this "box," for in the final analysis, a moral judgment rests upon human feelings , or to say it in other words, altitudes that have been examined . The purpose of this article is first, to draw attention to the affective factor that prepares and guides moral judgment. The second is to suggest a methodology for promoting the education of moral fee lings.
